Continuous Conveyor Separation
Automatically removes ferrous contaminants from conveyed materials without stopping production.
HEAD PULLEY MAGNETS
Continuous conveyor-mounted ferrous separation for mining, recycling, aggregate processing, food processing, chemical, mineral, destoning, wood and charcoal applications.
CONVEYOR SEPARATION • FAST RETROFIT • CONTINUOUS PROTECTION
Head Pulley Magnets
Head Pulley Magnets replace standard conveyor pulleys and automatically remove ferrous contaminants from conveyed materials. They provide continuous separation without additional moving parts, making them ideal for high-throughput operations. Magnetic particles are carried around the pulley and discharged separately while clean material follows its normal trajectory, supporting continuous protection, product purity and equipment safety.
Head Pulley Magnets Overview
Head Pulley Magnets replace standard conveyor pulleys and automatically remove ferrous contaminants from conveyed materials. They provide continuous separation without additional moving parts, making them ideal for high-throughput operations.
Magnetic head pulley separators replace existing conveyor head pulleys to continuously remove ferrous contaminants from material streams. Magnetic particles are carried around the pulley and discharged separately, while clean material follows its normal trajectory. Ideal for mining, recycling, aggregate processing, food processing, chemical industry, mineral beneficiation, mineral separation, destoning applications, wood industry and charcoal industry, these systems are custom-built for fast retrofit with minimal downtime.
